Spain was the European country that claimed most of what is now Texas and California. During the colonial period, Spain established missions and settlements in these regions, asserting control over the vast territories. Following the Mexican War of Independence in the early 19th century, these areas became part of Mexico before eventually being ceded to the United States after the Mexican-American War in 1848.

Why did the westward expansion of settlements in Texas result in increased tensions between Native Texans and Texas settlers?
The westward expansion of settlements in Texas led to increased tensions between Native Texans and Texas settlers primarily due to the encroachment on indigenous lands. As settlers moved in, they often disregarded existing treaties and claimed territory that Native Texans relied on for their livelihoods. This encroachment resulted in violent conflicts over resources, as settlers sought to establish farms and ranches, while Native Texans fought to protect their homelands and way of life. Additionally, cultural misunderstandings and differing views on land ownership further exacerbated these tensions.
